ILLING Packaging’s Back to School Donation Drive Made a Huge Splash!
ILLING Packaging has enjoyed teaming up the last few years with community organizations for the Washington County ‘Back to School Fair’ School Supply Drive.
This year, they really wanted to dive deeper to see how they could help contribute to the local community! To throw a curve ball, we had managers volunteer themselves in a friendly competition. Pails were placed with managers names/faces on them. Employees could bring in their donation supplies and vote for who they wanted to see in the dunk tank at our annual company picnic by placing their donation items in the labeled pails.
We had a lot of friendly banter, some heckling during the dunk tank, and a lot of laughs! Even better, the dunk tank was a was a slam dunk with helping us raise more donations than previous years!
This fundraiser is particularly impactful, as it supports over 750 local students in starting the school year with all the essentials they need for a successful learning experience. Our employees gathered and donated a variety of school supplies, from pocket folders and scissors to notebooks, erasers, crayons, markers, and beyond. It was wonderful to give back to such an amazing cause in our community to ensure these children headed off to school for an incredible year of learning!
Together, our Illing Packaging employees blew the past total out of the water with 1453 school supply items donated! What a fantastic contribution to the local children of our community! For more information on this great cause, check out Family Promise.
